Good morning Hive Pets community!
Hope you're all doing great!


With my first post in this amazing community I wanted to introduce to all of you my beautiful Siamese cat Jimmy, (probably he's more of a Thai-cat, have a read from the official definition on Wikipedia):

The Thai or Wichien Maat is a newly renamed but old cat breed, related to but distinct from the Western, modern-style Siamese cat. This natural breed is descended from the cats of Thailand, and, among various groups of breeders in different times and places has also been called the Old-Style Siamese, Traditional Siamese, Classic Siamese; Wichien Maat (anglicised from the Thai name); and the Applehead, a nickname that originated in the 1950s (originally as a pejorative used by breeders of the modern-style, more extreme-featured Siamese).

I was about to publish this post few days ago but then my friend @thekittygirl advised me to wait a couple of days and publish it on a Saturday to joint the #caturday movement, so here I am! πŸ˜€


Just look how beautiful he is 😍

He's majestic isn't he? 😜



A little bit of story background...

It must have been back in 2015, just before the summer, that my mom gave us completely randomly and suddenly the big news: "Ok guys, I'm going out to pick up the new Siamese cat from a colleague of mine from the hospital. See you later!"
Me, my dad and my brother completely unaware of what was going on simply looked at each other and had a laugh about it, we didn't believe her! We already had a cat, a parrot and a snake, and a new cat wasn't planned at all, my dad probably would have gone mad if it were true πŸ˜† so him most of all thought of it as a joke!
Long story short my mom comes back after few hours with a little box in her hands...
My dad was already going red, I could see the veins in his neck pumping...
But then we opened the box...
We had a look inside and I think I have never seen my dad going that quickly from a pissed face full of rage to a relaxed face full of love with huge blue eyes about to water.
He was in love, before he could say anything we already knew from his face, we're going to keep him and OH BOY NO ONE DARE TO TOUCH HIM AND HARM HIM! πŸ˜†
My mom was laughing and was really happy for how good her surprise turned out to be.

"We have a new member in the family! Welcome JIMMY!"

I do not have the pictures of Jimmy when he just arrived in the box, we couldn't stop looking at him and how little and beautiful he was that we did not even think about taking pictures for the first few days of his new-found-home life.

Here's a very young Jimmy and how he looked pretty much during his first few weeks of life with us (we received him very very young, just after its weaning):

Isn't he simply beautiful? I am totally biased toward my cat and I'll always refer to him as the most nice and beautiful of all the cats I ever owned (and of all the planet lol). He has got something special, and him and I also have a special bond, he spent this first night in our house sleeping under the bedsheets with me and since that day it's like he chose me to be his best buddy! What an honour! Thanks Jimmy!πŸ˜€

Jimmy and his older friend Chicco



What a brilliant name Jimmy for a cat, what's the story?


If you read a bit of my blog then you most likely know that I am a bit of a nerd (IT, Tech, Gaming, etc) and the name is inspired by a game character of a game that I was playing quite a lot at that time, I'll post a picture and let's see if you get it... lol

Got it? ahahah
It's Jim Raynor from StarCraft II
But because our new friend was really young and tiny I opted for Jimmy and he seems to love it 😜



Jimmy and the love for boxes and containers...

We all know how some cats (if not all of them lol) love boxes or anything where they can hide inside and Jimmy is no exception to this, have a look at some of the pictures from my "Jimmy inside stuff" collection. πŸ˜†



New router? Let me just quickly check out if everything is in order...

In my "house" or on my "house"? What a dilemma...


As you can see Jimmy has got quite a personality! I do have a lot of pictures but I already uploaded 20+ in this post only so for today I'll stop here!

In my next #cat post maybe I'll introduce you to my other cat Chicco and I'll post some pictures or Chicco and Jimmy together, they had a rough start in the beginning but then they became big friends and now they're always together 😎 Here's a spoiler:

I used to have one similar like Jimmy's face but he was an American snowshoe, died of old age. Sadly, I don't have his pictures anymore. Jimmy is so cute and yes, like Antonio said, I've also never seen an ugly siamese cat.

I have never seen an ugly siamese cat, they are always beautiful!

The photos are pretty funny haha, he seems to be a strange cat lol

Yes, you are right, they are all beautiful! 😎

Ahaha thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures!

he seems to be a strange cat lol

Ahaha you see! So it's not only me thinking that, he's definitely not a normal cat! πŸ˜‚

Oh, what a pretty kitty! Jimmy is adorable and I loved the story of how he came to be in your home! As I was reading that story, I was thinking how it would be a great curation by @innerblocks, but I see Stayten beat me to it! 😁 I so love the little bed that looks like a shark! πŸ˜‚ This is a wonderful #caturday post, and it was nice "meeting" Jimmy! 😸

Thank you, I'm happy you did appreciate!

Ehehe Thank you for the thought! And thanks to @stayten for the curation!

Ahaha yeah it looks brilliant and as you can see he uses it like he wants! ahahaha

Happy you enjoyed meeting Jimmy, next will be Chicco 😜

OF COURSE!!!! WELCOME SWEET!!!! My goodness, you are a beautiful kitten :3

😎😁 Jimmy sends love! β™₯️

Man... you made me remember a kitten I had named Michu. He was a snowshoes breed, similar to yours. He was poisoned to death by a neighbor who hated cats, but I still remember my dear Michu. Thanks for sharing your kitty, take good care of him!

I leave you a picture of my two cats! I'm visiting my grandmother's house, so I brought them with me. T'challa and Shuri!

Ohh they're beautiful! I really like all black cats 😎 They're special. ahaha

I had a black cat for a short time, we found him abandoned in the tube inside a McDonald bag... smh, some people.... We took him home and eventually he went for his way and left after less than a year, we saw him around the area at times so he was doing well, I hope he's still good!

I'm very sorry for your Michu! 😒 RIP Michu β™₯️
That neighbour...oh man I don't want to write what I'm saying right now... You can imagine...


Thanks for sharing your kitty, take good care of him!

Thank you for checking out!
He's with my mom and dad now, they are taking great care of him! I left home around 5 years ago and I could not bring him with me, I did not want to, he's too used to our home in Rome and with my parents, the other cat and the parrot he has always someone to be with, here in London with me and my girlfriend he'd spend most of the time alone waiting for us to come back from work!

Have a great evening! 😎

Ohhhh what a great idea from your mum and what an adorable prince. Gotta ask first a snake ?? But a Siamese is different from domestic cats I read somewhere and indeed he sits like a prince. Great that Caturday grew on you and you cared to join.
Say hi to Jimmy and give him some hive
Happy weekend

Thank you very much! 😁

Ahaha yes the snake was a weird choice from my side, as soon as I left they got rid of it ahahahah

Yep, I might participate every saturday now ahahah who knows, I definitely have more Jimmy material for the catlovers 😜

Happy weekend to you too!

Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
